Last season, UVM won its seventh America East crown as a part of a 27-win campaign, tied for the second-most in program history. After posting a 14-2 mark in conference play, the Cats captured the program's ninth America East regular season championship. Vermont is only one of eight Division I teams to record at least 11 consecutive 20-win seasons - Duke, Gonzaga, Louisville, Kansas, Kentucky, North Carolina, and Saint Mary's. During the non-conference slate, the Green and Gold matched a program record with 10 victories and completed a season sweep over the Atlantic 10 (George Washington, George Mason, and St. Bonaventure) for the first time ever. The Green and Gold return nearly 80 percent of their offensive production from 2018-19, including reigning America East Player of the Year Anthony Lamb (21.2 ppg, 7.8 rpg).
